Walk with your wallet. Its a dangerous trend that is sure to bite you later.
In fact, Comcast has been applying caps for several years in quite a few markets. When they started out, the caps were set at 300GB. Now they are rolling them out more widely and have increased them to 1TB. Given the history, I wouldn't worry much about them being reduced. As they add more capacity in response to increased average data usage, the caps will probably only go up higher. They're looking to manage the data usage of the extremely heavy data users, not the average customer.
